In the Legacy of Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen

“Born into the uniqueness of Creole New Orleans (7th Ward), Gina-Marie carries the voices, divinity and gifts of her mothers and their spirits. A practicing Catholic, divine reader and supersensory, from the glinting memories of Mother Africa to the unblushing radiance of the 21st century, she bears the torch and the light from past, to present, to future.  

Her knowledge with the paranormal began at age 9 when she began to create gris-gris (magical packets) for remedies and to experience a connection with, and search for, the spirits she felt around her. This became the constant and dominant driving force in her life and has lead her into the quest for connecting the world we do see, with the one we do not see. While a life of inquisitiveness has brought her on many journeys and discoveries, her key facility is “in the bone,” being a natural clairvoyant and spiritual communicant. As much called by, as drawn to, the spiritual continuities of time, place and immortality, she has accepted this calling without fear, prejudice, or self-advantage. 

Gina-Marie has articulated her feelings and experiences both in writing and on stage. She has professionally composed produced and preformed monologues and collaborated in original ensemble productions.  Her originality, initiative, professionalism and excellence are all braided into her spiritual awareness, especially those of the divine feminine spirits of love and healing.

"I am a Child of the Goddess, the Blessed Mother. I seek pure light and peace.”

Additional pursuits include divination, ritual dance, music, writing and poetry and the use of Gris-Gris (spiritual/magic objects and practices). “

"Any divinatory modality requires certain basic characteristics and attitudes in the person who approaches them – without which only a minimum benefit will be derived from them…the most important thing about the divinatory operation is the diviner him/herself."

-STEPHAN HOELLER

I AM G.

Gris-Gris Women are Generational New Orleanian natives revered as catalysts for the fusion of Christianity, Spiritualism, and Holistic Healing. I council of the Soul using divination and 7th Ward New Orleans Gris-Gris to bring about the desired effect of the Being based on his/her current positioning on this journey. It’s a diving into the reflection of the S.E.L.F. to bring about clarity, balance, and stability during a CRUCIAL time in the history of humanity, during a CRUCIAL time in a Soul’s evolution.

Louisiana Writer’s Project (LWP) was part of the Federal Worker’s Progress Administration (WPA). Between 1936 and 1941 the LWP conducted 70 interviews with elderly New Orleanians about Marie Laveau and Voodoo. A secretary for the LWP invented the term “Voodoo Queen”. Before then, the psychological and spiritual work and eradication of illness and dis-ease conducted by the FREE Peoples of Color in New Orleans was a way of life and was termed “Gris-Gris”.

I am G. I am The Crucial. I am a supersensory spiritual reader with a sufficiently cultivated connection to the ancestral life forms living within my cellular structures and genetically interlocked within my DNA, Soul Pattern.

I believe that God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of the angels, and preached about upon this earth. It is my deepest conviction presented in Romans 8:28: “All things come together for good for those who love God and have been called to serve his purpose”. I am an Agent of Spirit, called to serve God’s purpose. I am The Mystical Rose Who Grew From Concrete.

It is imperative that during this moment in the history of the human evolution that ALL TRUE Agents of Spirit – known and unknown, regardless of art form or practice – service our Brothers and Sisters in Soul, in our respective areas, in the name of PEACE and not war. For we know it to be true that we are indeed amidst a spiritual battle. All workers must remain focused on the tasks at hand and execute diligently and with love and respect for one another. Besides, Spirit doesn’t need us to govern a thing under the sun. Believe that when I tell ‘ya, Chere.

This is work is not for the fraudulent nor the faint of heart. Spirit is no respecter of persons. May purity of heart guide you, may courage sustain you, and may The Holy Spirit order your steps.  

I love you all. Now…let’s get to work! Abracadabra, baby!
